How to use the DADI

DADI is a pattern that divides enterprise development into four (4) batches or stages. The name is drawn from the four (4) abbreviations making up the name as below

• D - Discover - This is the first stage in DADI and involves discovering the challenge and shortcomings facing the enterprise. Enterprise Discovery comprises of all activities undertaken to identify areas within the enterprise that can be developed further

• A - Enterprise Analysis refers to all activities undertaken to process the data discovered in the fist batch. This allows the Enterprise understand its current position and existing infrastructure to determine what changes need to be made.
• D - Design Design also known as [[Enterprise Design is the 3rd batch in Enterprise Development that covers all activities needed to conceptualize, design, scratch, model, map, plan, project, and/or detail the DADI's outcome and/or finalize the architecture or layout for to tackle the shortcomings identified in Enterprise Discovery.
• I - Implement - enterprise implementation includes all activities needed to create and deliver the Pattern's outcome based on its architecture or layout made in enterprise design.

Enterprise discovery relies heavily on Data available to the organisation and team. Simply put, the team needs to first understand the Enterprise well to discover its challenges, shortcomings and areas that need to be developed. In this regard the enterprise can not only rely on the traditional informational gathering tools. There is need to incorporate data analysis form both internal and external environment in which the organisation operates in.

Access to this data in most Enterprises is somewhat limited and slow owing to the varied data points and sources. Additionally, Traditional data collection methods are too rigid, take moot much resources and are very for thus affecting the quality and accuracy collected this way. Organisations should therefore invest heavily in Information Technology and tolls to make data collection and analysis timely and accurate.

Once the discovery and analysis batches have been completed successfully, the next stage involves drawing up a blueprint of the preferred image. It is only by picturing the ideal picture that the organisation can proceed to Design. ' Designing the solution is more straight forward as it involves identify the changes that need to made and steps that can be undertaken to change the current state of affairs. It however requires input and collaboration of the whole team to be successful.

Once the [[enterprise design] is complete the enterprise is ready to implement the solution designed. The implementation phase
